RISKY: Bringing Harry Kane on at the end of the Holland was a risky move from Hodgson

Spurs can put the heat right on leaders Leicester by winning at Liverpool today.

Leicester don’t play Southampton until tomorrow, so Spurs can close the gap to two points and really put the pressure on.

But the England manager didn’t do Tottenham any favours by playing so many of their players over the international break – especially Kane.

I thought what Hodgson did with Kane was dangerous. Everyone knows he’s already on the plane for the Euros.

Why bring him on at the end of the game against Holland? He’d already started against Germany.

To play him against Holland was pointless – and it was asking for trouble. What if he’d got injured?

That kind of thing can easily happen when you’ve been sat on the bench all game and you’re suddenly thrown on.

If Kane gets injured, the title race is over. Spurs can’t win it without the Premier League’s top scorer. So it was a risky decision from Roy.

It’s not just Kane, though. Danny Rose played both games. So did Eric Dier and Dele Alli. OK, Jamie Vardy did too. And Danny Drinkwater had a long run-out against Holland. But they’ve got an extra day to recover.

I hope it doesn’t take a toll on Spurs. It’s mental as well as physical. Germany was a big game, against the world champions.

That’s mentally draining. Now they need to come out and beat Liverpool at Anfield. Do that and it’s game on for the title race.

Lose, and Leicester could be out of reach if they win the next day. I fancy Spurs to win. Liverpool are a bit soft-centered.

They were 2-0 up against Southampton and lost 3-2. Spurs just need to do what they do best, press, attack.

If they can do that and avoid a hangover from the international break they should be okay. I thought they might have tired already.

It’s very demanding playing the Mauricio Pochettino way and his Southampton team faded badly when he was there. But he’s got a load of kids who are full of energy and not showing any signs yet.

They blew Bournemouth away and I haven’t seen anyone else do that to them this season. It was very impressive.

I also think Leicester’s next three games are their hardest. People say look at their last couple, Chelsea and Everton.

Well, Chelsea have nothing to play for and they won’t want to see Spurs win the league. And Everton are already on holiday because of the FA Cup.
